Abstract

In this paper we discuss and transcribe parts of 16 documents, dating from between 1494 and 1876, which cast light on the exact location of the two Jewish quarters that existed in Cervera in the Middle Ages. Ten of the documents refer to the call Inferior (or call Jussà), and the other six to the call Superior (or call Sobirà).
